i agree, hounds or hound crosses, best noses in the canine world and good prey drive
Deffinately, im the same, but a lot of people like a dog to work closer in when walking with a lurcher or two. I have cockers, but last year I crossed my cocker spaniel dog with my patterdale bitch, and the pup is comming along very well indeed, and I hope to breed her with a good stud dog from my local beagle pack in a couple of years, if she turns out as good as I think she will.
The cross breds are way better than a straight spaniel, for me anyway. My terriers love bushing, but I prefer to keep them
